Results Overall, the evaluation committee determined that the response submitted by LSI Business Development and Bloom Consulting are the highest scoring responsive and responsible proposals and should receive a contract award.

Evaluation Process Proposals were evaluated in accordance the Utah Procurement Code by an Evaluation Committee comprised of representatives from the State. A representative from State Purchasing attended the evaluation committee meetings to assist to ensure that the process outlined in the Procurement Code was followed but was not a voting member of the evaluation committee. A request for statement of qualifications (“RFP”) was conducted under Part 7 of Utah Code 63G- 6a.

Stage 1 Initial Review/Mandatory Minimum Requirements This RFP received eight submissions. Following the evaluation of Stage 1 Initial Review/Mandatory Minimum Requirements, all eight vendors passed Stage 1 and were advanced to Stage 2: Technical Proposal Evaluation.

Stage 2 Written Technical Proposal Evaluation For Stage 2: Technical Proposal Evaluation, the final average scores submitted by the evaluation committee for each technical criteria category can be found in Attachment A. Cost was evaluated in the technical evaluation. Vendors were required to submit a “Cost Proposal Budget”. LSI Business Development and Bloom Consulting and Vendor E all passed the technical scoring threshold as seen in Attachment A.

Conclusion This RFP was conducted as a multiple-award. All offerors were required to score a minimum of 560 technical points. Contracts were awarded to the proposals with the highest points, and all available funding was allocated.
